Beauty is sick

Jin Lingjiu raised his head extremely slowly, and raised his eyelids extremely slowly, as if this could delay the time and let him use the extra few seconds to recall what Pei Zhe just said.

Let's see if there is something wrong with my ears, or this famous Tanhua Lang has something wrong with his head.

The changes on Jin Lingjiu's face were so slow that Pei Zhe could clearly see a very light mole under his eyelids. Under the soft light of the lantern, the small mole stood out on his transparent white skin. unexpected.

People can't help but want to raise their hands and wipe him away.

Pei Zhe called some of his behaviors obsessed with ghosts, which had nothing to do with him or someone else.

Scholars know how to be polite, but is this fucking scholar in front of him?

Jin Lingjiu couldn't help but doubt whether this huge dynasty was really corrupted to the root, and that such a conceited and arrogant person could be appointed as the prince's junior teacher.

Although Pei Zhe's appearance and intelligence are the capitals that make him confident, this person's face is too thick.

Jin Lingjiu's eyes were wary, remembering the many unclear and nonsensical remarks made by this person before, he pointed out something: "Pei Tanhua, we meet by chance, will you accept it or not?"

Pei Zhe withdrew his hand calmly, holding the folding fan worth a penny, and smiled calmly: "But ghosts are obsessed, Mr. Pei picks flowers and not grass, so you don't have to worry, Mr. Ninth, you are safe."

Jinling Jiuyi didn't know what expression to make for a moment, it was wrong to be happy because he was safe, and it was wrong to be unhappy because he was treated as grass, and he was very depressed.

He lifted his chin slightly, and said proudly: "It's better to cure the ghost obsession as soon as possible. If you need a doctor, I can introduce it to Pei Tanhua."

Pei Zhe seemed unable to understand the meaning of the other party's words: "It's not cured, it's better to live a confused life, you have to figure out everything, you're going to lose face and suffer. superior."

What he said was old-fashioned, not like a young man in his early twenties, giving Jin Lingjiu a sense of absurdity as he sat and listened to an old monk in the mountains chanting scriptures and preaching.

In this kind of world, if you are a smart person, you are not sure that one day you will become a pawn in someone's hand, and you will end up like the magistrate.

Pei squeezed his hands tightly, pressed the sharp edges of the fan bones into his palms, and then let go of his grip suddenly, allowing the slightly hot tingling sensation to explode in his palms, dragging away the thoughts that had run away. return.

The bright moon above the head falls into the palm of the lantern along the coast, holding out a pair of smoky red light, which is almost orange-red in rich hue, which is more outstanding than the rouge sunset glow described by literati.

The glass is fragile and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse. This piece of light will eventually be smashed into pieces in the night, and then buried in the quiet Huai River, turning into a boat to send the soul across.

Pei Zhe still hadn't forgotten the reason behind the joke, and pointed to the two severed feet lying side by side on the ground: "I heard that the Ninth Young Master has repeatedly solved strange cases, and this meeting is in a hurry and there is no time to prepare. This case will be treated as my case." Give it as a meeting gift to the ninth son."

Jinling Nine: "..."

Jin Lingjiu didn't want to see how thick Pei Tanhua's face was, so he pinched his nose and closed his mouth, and tacitly accepted this big gift that was forced to buy and sell and delivered to him.

Pei Zhe was in a good mood, even seeing Lin Jingkong felt that his face was much better.

Lin Jingkong's scalp was numb from his gaze: "Master Pei has any orders, just say yes, I will do my best."

Pei Zhe waved his hand: "Don't panic, I just think Commander Lin is busy enough tonight, he's very tense, and I want to find something relaxing for you to do."

Lin Jingkong faintly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered someone to send the dug-out pair of feet to Wu Zuo's autopsy room. There was also the fresh and warm corpse of the magistrate in the autopsy room, which happened to be enough for a whole person.

He hurriedly said before Pei Zhe opened his mouth: "Suddenly something went wrong, Mr. Pei was running around and working hard, and he didn't feel the local customs. It's late at night, Mr. Pei should go back to rest early."

After finishing speaking, he took the officers and soldiers and left. He moved swiftly and did not give Pei Zhe a chance to speak.

Pei Zhe laughed angrily, and greeted Yun Wuyang: "Go, go back to sleep."

Yun Wuyang clapped his hands suddenly: "Mr. Zhongli broke his ass, shouldn't we take him with him, we have to find a doctor for him first."

Pei Zhe looked at Zhong Limei, who was leaning on his back with one hand and slightly hunched over, and felt quite sympathetic: "It's too miserable."

Zhong Limei: "..."

Pei Zhe directed Yun Wuyang to help people, and muttered to himself: "Zhongli is miserable, he broke his butt, and I am also miserable. I can't sleep at night, and I have to accompany someone to see my butt."

Hearing Zhong Limei clearly: "..."

Before going back to the inn, he had to lead the horse first, and he could leave the other one behind, but Pei Zhe's royal horse, Xiao Hei, could not.

Pei Zhe was thinking about his Xiao Hei, left Yun Wuyang and Zhong Limei behind, trotted two steps towards the inn, ran for a certain distance, turned back, and ran towards the bridge embankment.

Yun Wuyang supported Zhong Limo, and said in a low voice, "My lord is not a road idiot, could it be that he suddenly... went blind?"

Zhong Limei: "..."

Yun Wuyang was worried, and shouted to Pei Zhe's back: "My lord, are you blind? We are here, you ran too far, come back soon!"

Zhong Limei: "..." You master and servant are really different.

Facts have proved that Pei Zhe is not blind.

Yun Wuyang's soul-screaming shout was exchanged for Pei Zhe's answer: "Get out! I left something, go back and look for it."

Yun Wuyang: "Woo!"

Zhong Limei: "..."

Pei Zhe temporarily abandoned Xiao Hei, his imperial mount, and ran back to the embankment in a hurry.

The ground was wet and slippery, full of muddy footprints from trampling on it, and the footprints could not be discerned. Pei Zhe bent his waist and supported his knees, and exhaled heavily.

Finally lost people.

The painting boat on the Huai River was still parked in its original place. The windows on the painting boat were dim, and there was no light inside. Under the illumination of the coastal lanterns, it looked a bit sparse.

The inn that helped take care of Xiao Hei is on the south bank of the Huai River, and the Laifu Inn where they stayed is on the north bank of the Huai River. They can board a boat from the shore, go directly to the opposite bank, and then go to the Laifu Inn. The distance is not far, and it is just around the corner. .

Pei Zhe said to himself: "If you blow the wind for a while, you won't be cold, right? You look so sick, taking off your clothes is purely mental."

Standing there for a while, Pei Zhe casually followed a lotus lantern, and walked slowly towards the inn.

Yun Wuyang asked curiously, "My lord, what did you drop?"

Pei Zhe said sleepily: "A very smart... long-tailed bird, always holding back some bad thoughts, not very lovable, but it looks good, the whole body is white, only the beak is red, squeamish, golden , the body is weak and difficult to raise."

Yun Wuyang was startled: "My lord, have you raised birds? Why didn't I know?"

Pei Zhe stuffed Shunlai's lotus lantern into his arms: "I didn't raise it."

"It's not yours, so you say you left it behind?" Yun Wuyang persuaded softly, "There is a law in my court, and theft should be punished according to the law. Young master, you must never break the law knowingly."

Pei Zhe took the lotus lantern back into his hand: "That bird is wild!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored Yun Wuyang and left the two of them behind.

Yun Wuyang felt aggrieved: "Young master has changed."

Zhong Limei: "?"

Yun Wuyang cried bitter tears for himself: "He never yelled at me before."

Zhongli Mo was silent for a moment: "Never?"

Yun Wuyang didn't change his expression and his heart beat: "In short, the number of times is very small!"

Zhong Limei: "...Oh."

Pei Zhe went to the inn, searched around but didn't find the table that was placed at the door before, the inn was closed, and only one boy was left inside to watch the shop clean, not the one before.

"The guest officer wants to stay at the hotel?" the clerk asked enthusiastically.

Pei Zhe shook his head: "I'm the one who left the horse here to take care of it, please help me get the horse out."

The guy looked puzzled: "Guest officer, do you remember wrongly, we don't take care of things here."

Pei Zhe raised his head suddenly: "Is what you said true?"

The man was startled by his suddenly serious face: "If you just ask anyone outside, you will know that our inn has been open for many years, and we have never helped to take care of anything."

Pei Zhe looked ugly, the guy thought he lost his horse and was depressed, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, guest officer, horses know the way, I will accompany you to look for them, and you can't lose them."

Pei Zhe pressed the center of his eyebrows: "It's time to work."

It didn't take much effort, the two quickly found the three horses tied to a tree not far away, the man returned to the inn, Pei Zhe remained silent, and led Xiao Hei and the other two horses back. .

After crossing the bridge, to the north bank of the Huai River, and then all the way back to the Laifu Inn, he had basically sorted out his mood.

Pei Zhe had expected this for a long time, but he was just annoyed, his vigilance was gone, and he was easily confused by the people behind the scenes.

After handing the horse to the clerk of the Laifu Inn, Pei Zhe took out his money bag and asked him to help him find a doctor, then sat alone at the counter, chatting with the shopkeeper one after another.

The Laifu Inn is the largest inn in Huaizhou City. Pei Zhe accompanied the prince to this place for a private visit, without revealing their identities.

The shopkeeper poured him a cup of tea: "What happened to you, sir?"

Pei Zhe has been running around since the prince was kidnapped in the afternoon, and he hasn't had a sip of water until now, and he doesn't care about drinking tea at night and can't sleep.

The shopkeeper saw that he didn't want to talk in detail, so he didn't ask further: "Why didn't you see the young man who was with Mr. yesterday? If he doesn't come back tonight, I will ask the guy to close the door."

Pei Zhe heard that he was talking about the prince, the matter was very important, he did not publicize the disappearance of the prince, took the letter and chess pieces and went to find the magistrate.

"He won't be back tonight." Pei Zhe took out the letter he had been carrying all along, "I left the letter and said that I would go out for a walk for two days."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Good for shopping, we have so many places to play in Huaizhou City, and we can go shopping for several days. I wonder what the young man is doing with his beautiful clothes."

Dress up?Pei Zhe narrowed his eyes slightly: "You—"

"The shopkeeper!"

A sudden voice interrupted Pei Zhe's words.

Zuo Ping came down from the second floor with some clothes in his arms. The pile of clothes looked familiar, especially one of the brocade gowns embroidered with gold.

Zuo Ping handed the clothes to the shopkeeper, and took out a bag of silver taels and put them on the table: "The clothes are made of special material, please ask the shopkeeper to help you ask a laundry lady who knows how to wash them, and then bring a few buckets of hot water to Tianzi on the second floor." Room No. [-], please call for a doctor at the end, Yin Er is here."

"Okay, put your clothes here. I'll find the laundry lady tomorrow, and the hot water will be delivered right away. It just so happens that this gentleman also wants to call for a doctor, and the man has already gone." The shopkeeper looked at the money bag on the counter, "Guest officer, There are too many to use."

Left screen expressionless: "The rest is for the shopkeeper."

Pei Zhe knocked on the table one after another. Under his hand, there was the letter he took out just now.

Zuo Ping followed the sound, glanced at the letter, turned around and went upstairs without saying hello to him.

The shopkeeper weighed the purse, looking for someone to bring hot water upstairs, and muttered as he walked, "Get rich in the middle of the night."

Pei Zhe sighed secretly: what a rich and powerful No. [-] under heaven, spending a lot of money, Jinling Jiu is still a fucking dude.

Nothing can be compared, Pei Zhe thought of his own salary, and was a little angry, the dude Jin Lingjiu, return his handkerchief!

When Yun Wuyang helped Zhong Limo to the inn, the doctor just arrived, and it was inconvenient for Zhong Limo to go upstairs, so the shopkeeper found a small room on the first floor and let them go in to see the doctor.

Pei Zhe stared intently at the pile of clothes, his eyes swishing coldly, as if shooting knives out.

"My lord, what are you looking at?" Yun Wuyang poured a cup of tea, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Pei Zhe suddenly said: "Yun Wuyang, I can't afford you anymore."

Yun Wuyang: "?"

Pei Zhe said in a sinister tone, "I'm going to rob the rich."

Yun Wuyang: "??"

Pei Zhe picked up the letter on the counter and put it in his pocket, leaving Yun Wuyang alone holding a teacup in a daze.

The doctor prescribed medicated oil for bruises to Zhong Limo, and then followed the shopkeeper upstairs. The shopkeeper took a bag of silver taels from Zuo Ping, and stayed up late at night, trying his best to follow Zhang Luo.

Zhong Limo came out of the room with his waist supported, and saw Yun Wuyang's pained face, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Yun Wuyang couldn't straighten his tongue, so he directly threw the teacup in front of him.

Zhong Limo glanced at the tea and knew that it had been left for too long and the tea was overcooked.

Yun Wuyang smacked his mouth, put the teacup on the counter, leaned closer to Zhong Limo and sniffed it twice, frowned tightly, and said in disgust: "It smells weird."

Zhong Li was ignorant: "It smells like medicinal oil."

Yun Wuyang whispered: "It still smells good as before."

Zhong Limei remembered that Pei Zhe had said similar things before, and frowned indistinctly: "What was it like before?"

"The fragrance of plum blossoms." Yun Wuyang thought, "It's a bit like rouge powder, but it's a little different. In short, it's light, very fragrant and pleasant to smell."

Zhong Li was startled, he never used incense, even if he was having fun, he only slept for an hour, so he couldn't be covered with fragrance all night long.

Besides, Pei Zhe, who went upstairs to rob the rich, wandered around the door of Room No. [-] in Tianzi for a long time, but he still couldn't do it. He was trying to find a suitable name for the robbing rich. like.

Pei Tanhua is poor and fastidious, completely forgetting the word "robbing the rich" is not the same as a fastidious person.

His delay happened just when the shopkeeper led the doctor upstairs, Pei Zhe made up his mind, and nodded at the shopkeeper with his hands behind his back.

The shopkeeper raised his head to look at the room number, and said hesitantly, "Sir, did you go to the wrong room? Aren't you in Tianzi No. [-] room?"

"Yes, I can't sleep and wander around." Pei Zhe smiled gently, "By the way, I will see my friends."

The shopkeeper's expression was weird, remembering that Zuo Ping and Pei Zhe had no communication at all before, just like strangers get along with each other, and wondered what kind of friend this is.

The doctor was getting old and yawned from sleepiness: "Is this the room? I'll go back earlier after finishing it sooner?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly knocked on the door: "My lord, the doctor who invited you has arrived."

There was a sound of dripping water in the room, followed by the rustling of clothes, and finally a cold answer: "Well, wait a minute."

Pei Zhe thrust the fan into his waist, muttering to himself, he forgot to add one earlier: it sounds nice.

Not long after, the door opened from the inside.

Jin Lingjiu was wearing a soft and comfortable white undershirt. His long hair, which he had tied up before, was spread out and hung on his shoulders with dampness. He must have just finished taking a bath and tidied up too quickly. Through the underwear, the elbows, shoulders... There are several places on the body that are almost transparent.

Jin Lingjiu glanced at the three people at the door, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Pei Zhe.

Pei Zhe greeted with a smile: "Ninth Young Master, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Jinling Nine: "..."

You ran to the door of my room and told me what a coincidence, what a fucking coincidence.

Jin Lingjiu restrained his expression, turned sideways to let the doctor enter the room, the shopkeeper knew what he meant, and found an excuse to leave by himself, leaving only one thick-skinned and unconscious, with half of his body stuck in the crack of the door, forced to squeeze in .

Pei Zhe stood next to Jinling Jiu, patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded him earnestly: "Young Master Jiu has just finished taking a bath, so you should wear more. If you don't pay attention when you are young, it will be too late when you are old."

Jin Lingjiu made him so angry that his head hurt, and he didn't want to pay attention to him, letting Pei Zhe wander around the room.

After asking the doctor to sit down at the table, Jin Lingjiu briefly talked about his physical condition. The shopkeeper invited an old Chinese doctor from Huaizhou City for decades. He took out the pulse pillow from his box, and began to feel his pulse.

There were two stools beside the table, Jin Lingjiu and the doctor each had one, and Pei Zhe had no place to sit, so he simply looked here and there, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, seeing everything is novel.

The layout of Tianzihao rooms is the same, but Jinling Jiu’s room has a lot of extra things, such as the carved and hollowed-out screen of golden nanmu placed in the room, behind the screen there is a bathtub, there is a circle of water marks nearby, and towels are placed casually. On the side shelf, it looks wet, it should have just been used.

Pei Zhe approached the tub, touched the edge of the tub, then raised his hand to the tip of his nose, and sniffed gently. His expression was as usual, as if he hadn't done anything inappropriate.

Walking along the screen, there was nothing else, Pei Zhe wiped the screen, smiled and shouted at Jinling Jiu: "Master Jiu is a good family."

Jin Lingjiu turned his head to look at him, and said coldly, "It's okay."

Pei Zhe was speechless inwardly: As expected of the shopkeeper of the first floor in the world, he is really rich and powerful.

Pei Zhe went around the screen, and touched the bed in Jinling Jiu's room. There was a book on the small table beside the bed. The pages of the book were all rolled up, as if it was some years old.

Pei Zhe pretended to turn two pages, then raised his hand and touched his nose.

The window was half open, and the cool breeze that entered the room hit my face like a knife edge.

Looking out from the window, you can see the distant mountains and near water, the night wind and cold dew, blowing away the beautiful fragrance, and bringing a desolate and cold winter feeling to the room.

Pei Zhe frowned and closed the window.He circled around the room, walked to the table again, leaned on the table to look at Jin Lingjiu's hand on the pulse pillow: "Isn't it cold?"

After the doctor took the pulse, Jin Lingjiu withdrew his hand and slowly rolled up his cuffs: "What advice does Pei Tanhua have?"

"I can't talk about advice, but I think it's cold, you don't wear enough clothes and open the window, it's not very good." Pei Zhe said.

The doctor nodded and said: "Deficiency in the five internal organs, cold spleen and qi deficiency, once winter and spring are turned, and the climate is dry and cold, it is easy to cough, and you have to take care of it slowly. In addition, your body is too humid, and the cold wind will aggravate the condition. "

Pei Zhe echoed: "That's right, that's right, what I said is absolutely right."

Jinling Nine: "..."

The result of the diagnosis is not too serious, just take good care of it, the doctor prescribed a prescription, and asked if you want to help decoct the medicine, Jinling Jiuyi responded.

Jin Lingjiu was handsome and easy-going, although he was cold-tempered, he was polite. The doctor had a good impression of him, and before he left, he asked him twice to go to the clinic to pick up the medicine tomorrow morning.

After the doctor was sent away, there was an uninvited guest in the room.

As soon as the doctor left, Pei Zhe sat down on the empty bench and looked at Jinling Jiu with his chin propped up, as if he was not going to leave.

After a night of getting along, Jin Lingjiu already had a little understanding of this famous Tanhua Lang, and at this moment his brows were tightly knit, and his disgust was palpable.

Jin Lingjiu: "Isn't Pei Tanhua going to rest yet?"

Pei Zhe said with a smile: "Master Jiu wants to invite Pei to stay and rest? How embarrassing."

Jinling Jiuyi suffocated: "..."

Pei Zhe glanced past him, and then landed on the bed: "Someone else may, but if it is the invitation of the Ninth Young Master, Pei will definitely not refuse."

Jin Lingjiu didn't like to make jokes about this. He knew that Pei Zhe didn't have that kind of intention, but just wanted to test him. Late at night, people were more sleepy. Jin Lingjiu didn't bother to break up with Pei Zhe, so he asked directly: "Pei Tanhua has something to say. Just say it."

Pei Zhe smiled generously, patted the stool beside him, and said, "Come and sit, let's chat."

Jin Lingjiu walked over and sat down, and said, "Just chatting?"

Pei Zhe's mind was punctured, but he didn't feel ashamed and embarrassed, with a half-smile on his face: "When you treat smart and good-looking people, saying 'chat' is because you can't bear to keep yourself decent, Jiu Gongzi is unparalleled in wit, I must have already guessed It's what Pei Mou meant."

Jin Lingjiu folded his hands together, and raised his eyelids when he heard the words: "Master Pei wants to interrogate me."

The author has something to say:

What I said after taking the pulse was my nonsense and had no medical basis.
